I was working for a small company and, after working for 8 months, resigned due to a medical issue. I didn't serve the notice period and still got my relieving letter. During the background verification conducted by my current organization's HR, the previous organization stated that the documents are correct, but I am not rehirable by them due to me taking leaves. Now, my current employer is claiming that the background check has failed, and I am being asked to leave. Is this even correct?

Dear friend,
Please be aware, the last and crucial phase of formalities for engaging an employee is background check (BGC). When a candidate fails this test, it's not possible to reverse or contest it unless you have a strong case to counter a 'Not hireable' report, which is not practical. Therefore, you will have no recourse if you are relieved of your position after failing the BGC. Often, you may not be informed of the reasons for receiving a negative report from the BGC. You will not have the right to insist that either your previous employer or current employer reveal the contents of the BGC. Hence, you should seek out a prospective employer who does not conduct a BGC or explore opportunities through highly influential references.
Thank you.
